The types of Herbal products and components used and made by Medical Herbalists.

 

I have listed below types of components that we use in our work with clients, so you understand the options and the way we can work with you ...BUT please see our "Legal Requirements" tab  on the Herbal products page.

Herbal extractions in vegetable glycerine, Vegetable glycerine that we use, is made from Palm as a fraction, and can be used by clients who cannot or do not want to use alcohol based tinctures, or vegan and vegetarians.
After macerating herbal extractions into vegetable glycerine for many years, I have found the best results are obtained by:-
Trying to use the flowering tops and fresh herb material  of the  required  plant that you need to make the herbal glycerol from  to give the best extraction. Then when the  herbal material is being macerated, making sure the sealed maceration vessel is agitated and turned once a day over the 90 days , this produces something that I consider to be superior to any 30 day normally  produced extraction .  This  will be noticed  in the extraction  "colour" and "taste" which I consider to be much better that anything I tried before  using the 90 day method . OK, It takes longer , but it is really worth the effort  and will possibly be used by  those who find  herbal tinctures unpalatable.
Usually supplied as or in preparations to clients  with all required information. We make lots of different glycerols to the highest standards for our clients.

Herbal Tinctures This is the most common way of supplying our clients with herbal extractions via an alcohol/water based tincture, they tend to be about 25% alcohol content - but the probable dose is  2 x 5mls doses per day,  the medical herbalist will decide the correct dose.We stock 300+ herbal tinctures and 1/1 Fluid Extracts for  our  clients' preparations as singles or combinations, they store very well in use and are easy to take.

 

Infused oils.  We can supply herb  infused oils to our client for their requirements , full information given. One of the very best is Hypericum oil and is blood red and has an old name of  "St. John's-wort oil "+ has so many uses, and has been used  since the beginning of time 


Dried Herbs Tend to be used to make "teas" and sometimes can be used to make a poultice for application. Using teas as a method of taking herbs can be warming  and sometimes even cooling and are useful for clients who cannot or do not wish to use ALCOHOL  based extractions,they will be given full information on use and doses.
 

Powders We use a professional capsule filler so that we can prepare vegetable gelatine capsules (EU certified vegicaps) faster and more accurately for our clients, this  makes the capsules cheaper and are filled with 100% herbal powders with no preservatives or fillers, so you get what you are paying for. The use of herbal filled capsules will replace a lot of herbal tablets and are easier to use and take while being on the move. Vegans find them very useful.
We stock many powders, and can use them for our clients preparations.
